Hockey Wives is part of the slate of original series including Property Brothers, the Love It or List It franchise, and Say Yes to the Dress Canada that has made W Network the top-rated network amongst women’s networks in Canada.

“We are thrilled to bring back Hockey Wives for another season on W. The show is our #1 series this year, with fans watching in record numbers, tweeting along with our cast, and joining our Google Hangouts online. In addition, episodes of the series have ranked as the #1 reality series on iTunes Canada after they air,” said John MacDonald, Vice President, Television, Head of Women & Family, Corus Entertainment. “Next season, promises even more excitement with new wives from across the league.”
